Winona strives to provide excellence in education for the young adolescent.  Through partnerships with the home, our staff provide opportunities for our student to learn and grow intellectually, socially and emotionally.  Students have clearly outlined responsibilities which helps provide a clear and consistent understanding, but which also supports their rights as young adolescence. Parents & Guardians play a critical role in the success of Winona students.  We maintain communication by sending out a weekly update and we welcome emails and questions from families.

Students will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of experiences, which include, a pool, a library resource centre, two specialized music rooms, a Family Studies program and Design and Technology program. We have teachers who specialize in Math, Science, Literacy and Physical Education.  Our Vice Principal &Guidance Counselor helps facilitate leadership and social and emotional development through assemblies, workshops, guest speakers and initiatives based on student interests.   

We believe that education is a partnership, and parents participation is an essential part of a child's success.  Any questions and concerns can be brought to the office, our doors are always open. We can be reached at 416-393-1680.

We look forward to working with parents and our community to ensure an enriching experience for all Winona students.

While we work with students at school to nurture their growth, here are some things you can do at home to help your child succeed:  

• Set a time for homework and provide a quiet space away from distractions
• Practice math, reading and writing daily and encourage your child to help you read and write everyday items such as recipes, newspapers or shopping lists
• Show interest and talk about what happened at school
• Praise and encourage your child to ask for help when needed
• Keep in touch with teachers and ask about completed homework
